Kind of like the trend of using "-rama" as a superlative suffix following the premiere of Cinerama in 1952, the most obvious local example being Sea-Arama. Mad Magazine once did a parody which spoofed the "-rama" mania, and envisioned the logical conclusion as "Ram-A-Rama", but I haven't been able to find a scan of it anywhere online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
